23-year-old Chidinma Adetshina has been crowned as the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024.

Adetshina, who represented Taraba State in the pageant, defeated four other finalists, including Miss Rivers State, Miss Anambra State, Miss Ondo State and Miss Edo State, to clinch the prestigious title.

In her acceptance speech, Adetshina emphasized the importance of unity and inclusivity. “This crown is not just for beauty; it’s a call for unity.”
